It's a Stash tea rainbow! :)

I'm really happy with this shot... With my other camera, the shots were usually too dark and lacked the pop of good coloring. I didn't have to edit at all for brightness/contrast or color :D Just for sharpness!


And a bonus? The top right-hand corner has pretty bokeh :D

The kitchen sink. :)

This is one of Keith's dogs, Remington :)


We had temperatures around the 90's today. Remington is usually pretty skiddish, especially when you stick stuff in his face (though I suppose I would be too), and I have never gotten good pictures of him.


And I have tried many times.


The poor guy was so hot today that he plopped down on the kitchen floor and he didn't care if I took a few shots. But he looks sad...

When I took this picture I was actually waiting for my boyfriend to finish cooking dinner. I was playing with settings on my camera and clinging to a desperate hope that I could trick my camera into producing a bokeh effect.



It didn't work.



But this picture came out pretty cool. :)

Finally: Good lighting! :D

I'm really happy with how this one came out.

Plus, I got a nice reflection in there!

It would have been better if I had taken the time to wipe the table down, but I don't know that my boyfriend's mom would have approved of me going around cleaning her house, lol.

Again with the terrible lighting. From the month that I've taken pictures so far, I have already realized that lighting is the biggest hurdle in my way.

The lighting here also came from the French doors. It was overcast (rather than sunny like in yesterday's picture), and I used my flash. Now that I think about it, I should have turned on the lamp above the table as well to balance out the two harsh light sources that I was using.

This weekend + me = terrible photos.

I have mixed feelings about this photo.

Pros:
- The placement of the objects within the frame.
- The reflection (which apparently I'm addicted to right now).
- My dog is adorable and can close doors.

Cons:
- The placement of the lighting caused the entire photo to be grainy and washed out.
- It was over processed in Photoshop in my attempts to make it look good.
- It's in black and white, when I would prefer to have this shot in color.


I really wanted to capture Missy closing a door, but with the French doors I think it's going to be hard for me to get the photo. I'm lucky that my camera caught the action on this one.
